Children's Construction of Fair Chances: Adjusting Probabilities.
Falk, Ruma; Wilkening, Friedrich
Developmental Psychology, v34 n6 p1340-57 Nov 1998
Six- to 14-year olds added "winning" beads to an urn of "losing" beads in order to generate equal probabilities of choosing a winning bead from each of two urns. Found that 13-year olds integrated the two dimensions (winning and losing beads), the youngest children relied on one dimension, and 9- to 10-year olds partly combined the two dimensions. (BC)
